Towards an evidence-based national road safety programme

This FERSI position paper intends to offer guidance to Member States on developing a national road safety programme. Its main message is that a road safety programme must be based on scientifically sound evidence in order to ensure that it focuses on the most relevant issues (made a correct ‘diagnosis’) and implements the most appropriate treatments (selected the best ‘therapy’). The paper results in five concrete recommendations for both the diagnosis and the therapy stages.
